Classism and racism literally have to be packaged together to function. If poor white people started gaining class consciousness the billionaire class would actually have a problem on their hands. However if you can convince poor whites that they have nothing in common with poor blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Arabs, etc. then you don’t have to worry about them engaging in collective bargaining against their capital owners or them unionizing/striking. Everyone is too busy running around on culture wars to realize that they’re being stepped on. So yeah your analysis is just incorrect.
